CALL TO ORDER- MOMENT OF MEDITATION

 

“The Town of Georgina recognizes and acknowledges that we are on lands originally used and occupied by the First Peoples of the Williams Treaties First Nations and other Indigenous Peoples, and on behalf of Mayor and Council, we would like to thank them for sharing this land.  We would also like to acknowledge the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation as our close neighbour and friend, one with which we strive to build a cooperative and respectful relationship.


We also recognize the unique relationship the Chippewas have with the lands and waters of this territory.  They are the water protectors and environmental stewards of these lands and we join them in these responsibilities.”

MOTIONS/ NOTICES OF MOTION

Notice of Motion by Councillor Dale;

 

WHEREAS the Town of Georgina recognizes that the economic climate and housing supply demand further inventory of accessory units and affordable housing;


AND WHEREAS the Town of Georgina currently allows 3 units as of right on properties in municipally serviced areas free of Official Plan Amendments and Zoning Bylaw Amendments but does not allow the same for non-municipally serviced lots; 


AND WHEREAS this has put an undue financial burden on property owners who live on well and septic properties in all 5 wards of Georgina;


AND WHEREAS the Town of Georgina recognizes that residents within rural unserviced areas and non-serviced residential areas face a financial barrier and costing burden that can preclude them from adding an accessory unit by way of current applications fees not applied to serviced lots;


NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Town of Georgina waives the application fees currently applied to unserviced lots within the Pefferlaw Secondary Plan until such time as any update to the zoning bylaw to rectify this disparity.
